Shoot tethered in Capture One.
Guests get the edited shot before you reset.
Keep everything that makes Capture One worth it: tethering, your Styles, your layers, your color. Export each finished frame to the Watch Folder and BrandStudio brands it and gets it to the right guest. You never switch to a basic camera app.
Instant delivery shouldn't cost you Capture One
When instant delivery means shooting into a basic camera app, you lose tethering, your Styles, and every edit you would make in post. BrandStudio works the other way around: you shoot and edit in Capture One as you do now, and delivery happens on top of it, branded and matched to faces.
Four steps, then it runs itself
Tether into Capture One
Shoot tethered the way you already do — live view, instant previews, full session structure. Nothing about your capture changes.
Style and edit
Apply your Styles, set exposure and color, work your layers, cull your selects. Guests get your finished look — not a flat frame straight off the camera.
Export to the Watch Folder
Point a Capture One export recipe at the folder the BrandStudio Mac app watches. Every frame you export drops in and uploads.
BrandStudio delivers
When a photo lands, BrandStudio uploads it, adds your client’s overlay, and matches it to guests who took a selfie. Their personal gallery picks it up. Your unbranded original is kept.
Everything you keep
Your Styles, delivered
The look you built in Capture One is what the guest receives. BrandStudio adds the overlay on top and does not regrade the photo unless you set a photo style for the event.
Pro tethering, unchanged
Capture One’s tethering, live view, and sessions work exactly as they do today. BrandStudio sits downstream of capture.
Re-edits replace
Export the same filename again after a better edit and the new version takes the old one’s place in the gallery. An identical re-export is skipped, so nothing doubles.
Your client’s brand
Logo, colors, and a custom domain on every photo and gallery. Guests see your client’s name, not ours.
Face Match built in
A guest takes one selfie and gets every photo they’re in. Nobody sorts or emails files.
Originals preserved
BrandStudio keeps the unbranded original next to the branded copy. After upload, the source file moves to a Processed subfolder; your Capture One catalog is not touched.
Built for the high-end booth
Tethered headshot lounge
Style the headshot in Capture One; the guest has the finished, retouched shot before they leave the chair.
Red carpet & step-and-repeat
Set the look once and send branded portraits while the line keeps moving.
Galas & awards
Edit the winner’s portrait and export it. It reaches the gallery as soon as it uploads.
Multi-day conferences
Shoot, apply your Style, export. Each session goes out branded, with no end-of-day dump to sort.
Three things, once
Install the BrandStudio Mac app, point the Watch Folder at your Capture One output folder, and add an Export recipe with your Style. Then shoot and export; the delivery side runs itself.
Common questions
Does BrandStudio work with Capture One?
Yes. You shoot and edit in Capture One as you do now, then export to a folder the BrandStudio Mac app watches. That folder is the whole connection; there is no plugin.
Do my Capture One Styles and edits get delivered?
Yes. Guests receive the exported file with your Styles, color, and edits baked in. BrandStudio adds your client’s overlay to a copy and keeps your original.
Does it work with Capture One tethering?
Yes. Tethering is unchanged. BrandStudio works downstream of capture, picking up your exports — your live view, sessions, and tethered shooting stay exactly the same.
What about Lightroom or another editor?
Anything that exports to a folder works, Lightroom included. The Watch Folder picks up JPEG, PNG, TIFF, HEIC, RAW, and short video. See the Watch Folder tool for the full picture.
Are my original files safe?
Yes. BrandStudio keeps the unbranded original and brands a copy for delivery. The exported file moves to a Processed subfolder after upload; your Capture One catalog is untouched.
